These are A-grade black tourmaline in quartz crystal vases from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Tourmalinated quartz forms when black schorl tourmaline crystallizes inside a quartz matrix, exposing blade cross-sections wherever it is cut. Each vase runs 5-6 inches at Mohs 7-7.5, fully natural and untreated, with a removable tube insert holding the water. A favorite protection stone for entryways.
This is tourmalinated quartz: black schorl tourmaline that grew inside a quartz matrix rather than beside it. The two minerals are locked together.
The blades run in every direction through the block. Cut it anywhere and you get a cross-section through that tangle, which is why no two faces match and why the pattern looks drawn on.
These vases are cut and hollowed from solid blocks sourced in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Black tourmaline is the protection stone people reach for most, traditionally worked with for grounding and for putting a boundary around a space. Held in quartz, it is often described as protection with the volume of quartz behind it. It is linked to the root chakra.
If that resonates, the traditional placement is by the door, where the house meets everything else.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Black Tourmaline in Quartz sits at 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale, harder than a steel blade, so it handles daily carry and a quick rinse without fuss. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
For quiet protection.

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 5 to 6 inches on its longest side and weighs 3 to 5 pounds.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This lot is from Minas Gerais, Brazil. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. A on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
